In one of the more bizarre icing accidents I have ever read about, this King Air was unfortunate enough to crash, but fortunate in that everyone survived.In fact, most with minor/no injuries). I remember seeing the picure of this aircraft.....half in/half out of the building it crashed into. When it went through the roof, I understand it severed the pipes for the buildings sprinkler system, spraying the aircraft with water, which may have prevented a fire.
